The rise in global healthcare expenditure, declining staff and hospital bed numbers, an aging population and growing incidence of chronic illness such as heart disease and diabetes is driving healthcare provision out of hospitals and into homes.
M-health - healthcare supported by mobile and wireless technologies - is no longer seen as a costly non-essential but an enabler of cost-effective care and better overall health outcomes. Public and private healthcare providers are beginning to implement mobile solutions in voice and data communications to improve service access and efficiency, and their demand for wireless monitoring solutions for ongoing care outside the hospital is driving M2M innovation in healthcare products by operators and vendors.
